Shifted has announced a new moniker, Covered In Sand. This is the latest alias for the shadowy Berlin-based techno producer, who has also gone by the names Pacific Blue and delete_everything, among others.

The project's first releases will come through Mira, the label Shifted set up with Ventress for experimental techno.
